He also happens to owe a lot of money to the Scottish mafia. $50,000 to be exact. He has 2 days to get them the cash. Lucky for him, he comes across a German huntsman, named Gustav Shank (Creator/JeffreyJones), who owns a private island where he does said hunting, and offers Pest $50,000 to go hunting with him. So what's the catch? [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame He is]]! Now he has 1 day to survive the wilderness, dodge the crazed huntsman and the Scottish mob, and have dinner with his girlfriend's parents!
